Dementia Friendly Golf Sessions to Launch in Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire & Derbyshire.

As part of the UKRI Healthy Ageing Challenge, we are expanding our dementia friendly golf venues further across the UK.

Launching at Newark Golf Club UK on the Nottinghamshire/Lincolnshire border on the 28th of April. Followed by Alfreton Golf Club on the 9th of May

We will be offering FREE TASTER SESSIONS for people living with diagnosis; Dementia, Parkinson’s disease, Stroke, Loneliness, and Depression.

In addition carers can enjoy a few hours to themselves. As their loved ones are in safe hands enjoying the company of individuals with similar challenges.

Our specialised friendly golf sessions help to extend or start the golfing life of our users. NO PREVIOUS GOLF EXPERIENCE IS REQUIRED. The vast majority of our service user’s had never picked up a club before attending our golf sessions.

To us it’s important that the golf sessions become part of people’s weekly routine and something to look forward to.

Giving carers the chance to plan their lives, knowing that they can rely on us for their regular respite break.

Book a free taster session today and one of our team will get in touch with you within 48 hours.

Government Backed Initiative

Our social enterprise has been backed by the government’s SBRI – The Small Business Research Initiative delivered by Innovate UK. As part of the UKRI Healthy Ageing Challenge, we are 1 of the 30 social enterprises to receive funding.

Everything we do is designed with the people we support at the heart of it.

Our services are created and delivered by a team of “proper people” with lived experience, who are determined to make a positive contribution to the lives of others.

By co-designing all our services in partnership with our customers, it enables us maximise the positive impact we have on their lives. 

Above all it’s about creating opportunities for people to live a full and active life.

So whether you’re living with a chronic illness, a carer seeking a break from the challenges of unpaid care, or someone who is trying to get their life back on track, we offer you the chance to do so at your local golf club.

We believe by giving people the human right to keep enjoying the things they love, that make them tick and that spark them into life, you can provide them with renewed hope.
